Against Assimilation: A Workshop on Estranging Language

with

Jenny Xie

Join us as Jenny Xie leads a generative and revision-oriented workshop where we consider works by poets such as Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Paul Celan, and Sahar Muradi, and engage in exercises meant to de-domesticate, and de-discipline, our lines and upend the usual assumptions about what language can, and should, do.

This workshop is free and open to the public. However, due to space constraints, RSVPs will be required for the workshop. Please follow the link below for more information.
